What Use of an “Evidence-based” Approach Can and Cannot Do
Can Assure desired benefits if properly implemented Avoid waste of resources Facilitate evaluation Enhance performance and reputation
Cannot Optimize interventions Address unique local needs and constraints Address policy issues where the needed studies have
not been done

Healthy People 2010
Healthy People series started in 1979 by DHHS. Based more on expert opinion than on scientific
evidence One or more advisory committees for each
focus area Updated for each new decade Now includes
28 focus areas 467 specific objectives 10 leading health indicators
10/10/06 AAPHP PSTK Evidence Module 2, Slide 15
Healthy People 2010 Objectives
Sample Objectives
3-13. Increase the proportion of adults aged 50 years and older who have received a fecal occult blood colorectal cancer screening test in the preceding 2 years (Baseline 35%, 2010 target 50%)
15-19. Increase the use of automobile safety belts (Baseline 69%, 2010 target 92%)
10/10/06 AAPHP PSTK Evidence Module 2, Slide 16

Bottom Line re: Evidence Base Do not start with a literature review!!! Wherever possible, use the resource web sites
and documents Best place to start is usually the AHRQ National
